Hey does anyone one know when they come out? Does everyone who apply get a bursary?

No, everyone who applies does not get a bursary. There are a limited number of bursaries and each is given to whomever fits the needs/requirements/criteria best. What that criteria might be probably varies depending on the bursary.

As for when they're released, I'm not sure. Hopefully someone can answer that so I can stop checking MUGSI to see I'm still being assessed lol.

All my bursaries were released in January/February.

Just to clarify, it's "not everyone who applies gets a bursary".

Bursaries are typically released in late January, but they usually tell you before that if you are getting one. Sorry I don't know either :S...

Haha, that's lame. I applied in late September and it still says Being Assessed. They could have let us know when their decision would've been made.

In pervious years they typically come out before/around Reading Week or alittle sooner.

If you join Mac for the first time in Jan. you have a chance to fill out a bursery application so I think they wait for those applicants before handing out the money.
